Filmsite has selected a Top 100 Films comprised of the
top 5 films for each of 20 different genres (including some sub-genres
and other categories). The twenty different categories include action, adventure,
animated, biopic, comedy, crime/gangster, cult,
disaster, drama (melodrama), epic/period/historic, fantasy, film noir, horror (and supernatural),
musical (and dance), romance, science-fiction, sports, suspense-thriller, war, and western
and additional selections for silent films.
The unranked 100 film selections (in chronological order in each
category) are based upon popularity, critical reviews and awards,
box-office appeal, memorable films with the best screenplays
(characters and stories), and classic status in the genre (or
sub-genre) category. The links from the genre categories are
to Filmsite's essays on Film
Genres.
